Electric Scooters

Electric scooter rental services are quite common in larger European cities but dig a little deeper and you’ll find that they are deeply unpopular among many drivers. Inexperienced scooter riders without helmets accessing electric scooters from a few dollars has been a recipe for disaster and scooters can be found vandalised or destroyed across cities.

Luckily we also sell electric scooters to any country in the EU, with 3 days shipping and superb customer service. 

To help you get to know the local laws for electric scooters and other small electric transportation we’ve setup a list where we sum up the laws per country.

The Netherlands; Illegal; Right now driving an electric scooter/step on the public road is illegal and can be fined. But we are working on legalising.

Germany; Legal; Driving an electric scooter is legal in Germany. The driver needs to be at least 14 years old and the maximum speed is 20 km/h.

France; Legal; As long as you keep to the ‘law’ and do not drive as an maniac. There is no law now so as the French would say; who can stop me!

Denmark; Legal; Driving electric scooters/steps are completely legal as long as you wear an helmet, have the lights on while driving and have an (yellow) reflective sticker on the side of the vehicle.

Belgium; Legal; Driving and electric scooter/step is legal as long as you drive no faster then 18km/h.

      We don’t know if driving an electric scooter is legal in your country right now. But I will update our list as soon as I know more.

          Sorry, but in Spain its regulated with basic regulations while a solution is found at the state level, as in the rest of the world. And the main cities already have it regulated. Drinking beer and doing what you want is typical of foreigners.

    Nope, just heard that e-scooters and -boards will stay illegal in the Netherlands. They don’t replace the car, what would be a positive thing. They replace walking and cycling.
